"Kino" is the protagonist's name as well as the name of the bar he run. It may be interpreted as an identfity, an armor and a comfortable place hidden in a crowded world. It provides a perfect hideout for Kino where he doesn't have to face the reality. I wonder if he has been suppressing his feelings when he found out about his wife and his colleague or she left a void in his heart and he is incapable of having any emotions until that rainy night.
